Porsche is adding more electric vehicles to its luxury lineup, this time transforming its Macan SUV
Porsche is adding more electric vehicles to its luxury lineup, this time transforming its Macan SUV into a Tesla Model X-style vehicle.
On Tuesday, the German company announced the crossover vehicle would be made all-electric after 2020. The smaller SUV joins the electric sports car, the Taycan, expected to launch by the end of this year. Porsche announced its first electric car last year as the $85,000 Mission E, but has since rebranded. The Taycan Cross Turismo will follow.

The all-electric Macan will feature the same 800-volt battery tech announced in the Taycan last year and rely on Audi electrification architecture built out for their e-tron crossover EV (Audi and Porsche are both part of the Volkswagen Group), but more specific details about the Macan weren't released yet. The non-electric version starts at about $50,000.
The Taycan sports can supposedly can go 300 miles on a charge. The pricier Model X from Tesla starts at $88,000 and its largest battery offers about a 295-mile range -- and that's for a bigger compact SUV.

Luxury electric SUVs are trendy as ever -- just look at the Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-Pace, Mercedes EQC (coming soon), Tesla Model X, and so many others promised to arrive in the coming years.
